A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 34: In the Ice Sheet - 3

Two months had passed after the great event that befell the Arcchild Fortress. Starting from the destruction of the west gate, the infiltration of Beatria Union soldiers, the escape of one of the people close to Seriana —Rion—, until the death of Duke Arcchild.

Beatria Union, the party involved with the big event also often carried out a series of attacks with the aim of conquering the fortress. However, the surviving parajurits were not that weak to be able to let the fortress fall easily.

However, all of these things did not make Seriana's face look happy.

"So Subject E-R1203 is most likely dead?" said Seriana in a questioning tone and a little bit of sincerity mixed in it when looking at Marco who was now kneeling before him.

Seriana was not satisfied at all let alone happy after reading the mission report that Marco was running at this time.

Seriana thought, after all the troops were deployed, the Nigt Hunt team along with several other teams including the 'top' level carried out this mission. However, he did not get any results, of course he could not reduce disappointment.

Although they have been struggling around the death zone for almost two months, they have now begun combing to more distant areas in search of the possibility that Rion is still alive. However, after being unable to find Rion or the trail he left behind, Marco inevitably ended the big operation with another failure.

"I'm sorry for Miss Seriana's failure," the knight captain lowered his head even lower and longer, unable to face Seriana's gaze that felt increasingly cold in every second.

Taking a deep breath, Seriana said, "It's okay. What about the fate of the surviving researcher?"

It is also Seriana noticed, although it looks like a distraction. But in fact these two things are still related.

When checking the state of the laboratory after the explosion, the team found a researcher who was still alive. Although it can be said in critical condition at that time, he can still be saved because he was only full of bruises and injuries all over his body.

Although using the word 'only' to mention the condition of the researcher, but the condition is actually very bad. However, when compared to other researchers who died horribly to be unrecognizable nearby, the word 'only' is indeed worthy enough to be pinned.

Marco, who had previously been staring at Seriana, now had a difficult face. "For that .. although his body has indeed improved, but ...."

"Quick say," said Seriana calmly in an increasingly emotionless tone.

"Hah .. sorry Miss. It seems like his mental state can be sure of being destroyed."

Seriana's face was still flat, not surprised or anything. Reawakening his body to the large chair he was in, he said, "Can you explain it in more detail?"

Marco nodded slowly before opening his mouth. "At waking up the researcher will immediately panic when he sees others, screaming with content that is not clear and can not be understood for a few moments before fainting. Whereas when he is alone, the researcher will tend to mutter things that are not clear and attack objects nearby. Hah .. because of that we concluded that his mental state had been damaged."

Digesting this information, there was indeed nothing wrong in Marco's deduction. "Is there any information you can get from him? Whatever it is tell me."

"The thing he shouts is always the same, that an ibis has been born in the world, most likely it refers to Rion. I'm sorry, miss, that's all we can understand, other than that there's nothing."

"Is that?" Seriana felt lost hope for that researcher, if that was all that the person knew then it was even more worthless. After all, if he were to ask the person who experienced the event directly, then they would answer that Rion was a demon.

"Kill him if we can't take advantage of him. Then order the others away from my room, for now I want to cool my mind, so don't bother me" Seriana ordered.

However, after this room was only filled by Seriana there was a giggling laugh that filled into every corner of the room.

"Rion's dead?" Seriana wanted to laugh at herself while saying this. "I guess not! What if he goes into the death zone? I'm sure he's alive, how can a man who makes you fall in love die that easily."

Recalling the figure of Rion, Seriana's breathing became heavy with her cheeks crimson. His eyes stared deep into the increasingly wildly uncontrollable fantasy within him.

***

Far to the north of the Arcchild Fortress in the central port belonging to the Eugary Empire in the Zestia Continent, Seriana G. Eugary was sitting on his horse-drawn carriage.

Two months passed quickly, and Seriana was called by the emperor to return to her country.

All because of the attack that had occurred in the fort to make Duke Arcchild died. However, Seriana realized that the real reason was the selfish reason of the emperor himself to win the trust of the other nobles.

In any case, with the killing of the departing nobles Duke like Duke Arcchild — worse still one blood with emperor— of course the trust of the nobles to the emperor fell sharply.

Although Seriana was indeed going back to the empire, but the schedule should still be in the coming month. Although when he returned also implied that it would be an official event for the appointment of a new Duke to replace his father, the look on Seriana's face was not too good.

Seriana looked bored as she looked at the ship that was about to bring her back. "Rion still hasn't come. .. Is he dead?"

It has been four months since the last news from Rion was heard, although Marco has officially closed the operation, in fact Seriana still runs it in secret. However, the results he got were not very good either.

Even with the reports from her people, Seriana still did not get any news. Therefore, during this time, he felt very bored with a heart that again felt empty, he was also sure that death would not feel this bad.

The thought that Rion was dead sometimes hit her head, but Seriana immediately rejected it outright. How could the person who had managed to snatch his heart be able to disappear from the world so easily?

Suddenly Seriana's eyes widened, an interesting thing she had discovered through endless musings that continued to run through her head.

"So like that .. yes! Definitely it!"

seriana Gumam.

Seriana's lips curled upwards as the sound of a small laugh rang out in the carriage. "Rion, you're gonna give me a big surprise, aren't you?"

Seriana's laughter grew more and more, thinking about what kind of surprise Rion would do made her excited. Thinking of all sorts of possible things that the young man would give, surely it was not a small thing and would make a big furore and definitely fun.

With a happier look on her face, Seriana's beauty was radiating more and more. 'I'm waiting for the special surprise you're going to give me, Rion ....'
